Guest agreenjesus Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Who watches movies on there phone ? maybe the odd you tube clip , trailer or a 30 min tv show but a modern 2 hour plus movie nahhhh for that i would need at least a screen the size of an ipad I do, that's who! I use a 5" archos to watch films on planes, at work etc, it works fine for me. I'm thinking a 4.3" phone like the skate could replace my archos. The blade's screen is a little small but I do use it for movies now & then. My eyesight is ok. Ipads don't fit in your pocket & they're part of the apple/scientology conspiracy. Android tablets just don't fit in your pocket. Edited May 12, 2011 by agreenjesus

Guest finbaar Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Anything above £200 would rule this phone out for me as I don't think it's worth it if it is ARM6. Mind you if it is ARM6 I will not be buying it for any price.

Guest damjan006 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 It's an ARMv7 Flash 10.1 capable It will be very nice if its arm7 but according to PDADB its arm6, it has the same chipset (Qualcomm MSM7227) with our blade and possibly overclocked processor to 800mhz. Other new except from the 4.3 inch screen and the higher price i cant see (I am not so sore about the build quality)
Guest C3P001 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 yeah i read it will be arm6 too but then again rumours were that the delay was so they could upgrade to arm7 but i dunno even then for me its not enough I am perfectly happy with my Blade however if it is arm7 and i didnt have a Blade then i would go for the Skate depending on price ...for me it would have to be 150 pounds preferably less to make it an option.
Guest jeddy1 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 It's an ARMv7 Flash 10.1 capable how do u know its an ARM7?
Guest French_Connection Posted May 13, 2011 Report Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Hello, just for saying that the Skate will be avalaible in France this 17 may under the name of "StarAddict" by SFR.

Check this link in french(the Trail is in reality the Zte Blade and the StarAddict is the Zte Skate):http://www.journaldugeek.com/2011/05/11/quatre-smartphones-android-edition-by-sfr/ well thats similar to the skate but its not exactly the skate! and why its saying GOOGLE on the back cover..?i know all specs are same as skate tho..
Guest French_Connection Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) It is the Zte Skate I Can Assure it!! I'm french so i can't explain evertything but go check this forum if you can read and understand the french :Link Zte sells their phones to operator who can modify the phone as the "San Fransisco " in white for Orange. Go check the wikipedia page about the zte blade, they explain that zte blade has different models!! The Startrail is the zte blade, Same specifications: 600 mHz,Camera WITHOUT FLash on the left back of the phone, two Proximity sensors on the right front EXACTLY as the Zte Blade. The StarAddict is the Skate:800Mhz, 4.3(480*800), Camera WITH Flash, GingerBread 2.3.. The design and the form factor is similar to the Skate. It's the Zte Skate, but it is the SFR's version(SFR is a french operator) Why the name is Google on the back? Because SFR has named those 4 new phones(startrail,staraddict etc..) "Android Edition by SFR". As you know Android is the OS from Google, so if they Uses the name "Android" for theirs phones I suppose Google has obliged Sfr top put the "Google" logo on the back Edited May 14, 2011 by French_Connection
Guest xondrax Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Interesting!Do You know if its sold as prepaid or pay monthly?Info about prices?I have friend in France :unsure: Edited May 14, 2011 by xondrax

Guest French_Connection Posted May 14, 2011 Report Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Interesting!Do You know if its sold as prepaid or pay monthly?Info about prices?I have friend in France :unsure: No informations now for the price, it will be avalaible this wednesday 17 may, and you will know the price on internet! I suppose it's prepaid but not sure and the camera of Startrail is 5mpx and looks good Don't buy it. A zte blade version with 5mpix camera is on sell since long time in Finland for example, but for some issues this version was Unflashable( you will not be able to install non official rom like Swedish Spring Rom or Cm7 Rom for example) Edited May 14, 2011 by French_Connection

And camera works too. There were problems with 5mpix cameras not working a long time ago but they are fixed now.
